V.Deus Videoart
BeLa Editions Gallery – Brussels _ 2012
Neonflex is the second video art work by Bignotti, conceived as a sequel to Nova Spectrum, the artist’s first professional video. It not only shares an aesthetic imagery but also clearly reflects a poetic direction linked to the Aphexian audiovisual imagination, characterized by electronic music and the fast-paced, engaging format typical of music videos.
Like many of Bignotti’s works, Neonflex tends to critique societal issues, specifically focusing on the realm of communication, particularly television. As with many of his other projects, the author began working on the concept before the filming commenced. In fact, by 2006, the artist had started collecting abandoned televisions found on the street due to the transition from analog to digital broadcasting, transforming them into self-made special effects. This process of reclaiming material and creatively recycling it would later become a significant element in the artist’s creative process.
